Troubleshooting Common Issues
Connection Failed
If your connection fails, ensure your LinkedIn account is in good standing and you haven't exceeded LinkedIn's connection limits. Try clearing your browser cache and attempting the connection again.
Two-Factor Authentication Issues
If you're having trouble with 2FA, make sure you have access to your authentication method. You may need to temporarily disable 2FA during the initial connection, then re-enable it afterward.
Session Expired
LinkedIn sessions expire periodically. If you see a "Session Expired" message, simply re-authenticate using the same connection method you originally used.
